5 Underrated Cebu Coffee Shops You Should Visit

  1. Capu Cafe 

Discover this new gem of a coffee shop near Ayala!

Hidden between the alleys of Kamputhaw, you wouldn’t expect a coffee shop there that offers grassy matcha, sweet cookies, and pastries, with friendly and accommodating baristas.

This hole-in-the-wall coffee shop does not only offer good coffee. Aside from their good options, their ambiance is also one to die for! The nooks and crannies of the coffee shop are Instagrammable with their modern and minimalistic touches.

My secret (now it’s not) tip is to visit the place at 10 AM to get THAT photo and to score the best seat before the crowd arrives between 1:00 – 3:00 PM on weekends.

If you have a deadline to catch up to, you don’t have to worry because they also have free Wi-Fi that you may use for 2 hours. Just ask the barista and they’ll gladly give you access.

Located at the back of Golden Peak, no one would expect that a small but peaceful cafe is nestled there. Because the alley is only passed-by private cars, this makes C.Brew unknown to many. But once you get to know the place, you’ll enjoy its privacy and peace, especially with the cafe’s Boho-Scandinavian feels.

Although the cafe is not spacious enough to cater a huge number of customers, because it has not been discovered by coffee shop aficionados of Cebu and the general public, there’s no competition for good spots.
